The German capital of the province with the same name is located in the east of the Federal Republic of Germany. Berlin is the largest city in the country and the seat of government since 1999. The rivers Spree, Havel and smaller rivers and streams flow through the city. Furthermore, the cityscape is characterised by lakes, forests and parks, making Berlin one of the greenest capitals. The Berlin Mitte district is located in the centre of the 12 districts into which the city is divided. Altogether there are 81 public and private hospitals with 20,070 beds in Berlin. Here, 46,087 employees provide for the well-being of patients.
Berlin is internationally recognised, not least due to its history. While the city was divided by the Berlin Wall, its eastern part was actually the capital of the German Democratic Republic. With reunification in 1990, a profound transformation of the city began, especially in the eastern part. Today, Berlin excels as a world city that enjoys international status due to various aspects such as sports, the arts, education, research and architecture, economy and a variety of living environments.
